How much do college students spend on rent in Portland, Oregon for a 1 bedroom apt? -

I m applying to grad school at Portland State. I would like to live in the Southwest (preferably) or Northwest districts. How much on average is rent in these areas? So far it s looking pretty steep, from $800s to $1300s, for a 1 bedroom apt.

I have an idea that may help you. I live in Oregon City Oregon, I am going to Clackamas Community College at the moment but after the winter semester my wife and I are moving to Nevada, we have a 3 bedroom mobile home that is in a nice quiet park that we are selling. (Very reasonably), the lot rent is $455 per month and is in a good area, not far from lots to do, on a bus route (SCTC) which connects to Tri-Met, you could easily rent the 2 extra bedrooms out to pay for the rent and part of the utilities. If this sounds like an affordable solution e-mail me.

You re looking in the expensive areas. And if you want unshared housing, that s reasonable pricing. If conserving money is more important, consider shared housing, such as here: http://portland.craigslist.org/roo/ Or just go to PSU s commons and look at the bulletin boards.

Why do they say Brooklyn is the 7th largest City? -

Well it s actually known as The Fourth Largest City in the US.Because before the amalgamation of New York City in 1898, Brooklyn was its own city and a very large one. Brooklyn is the most populated borough in New York City, with over 2.5 million people. Most people think Manhattan is the most populated borough, but it s actually third behind Brooklyn and Queens.Brooklyn is larger than Houston which is the 4th largest city in the US. So that s why it s known that way.

Population.

size comparision if it was one.

Where to live- New York City or Los Angeles? -

I m attending AMDA next fall and am having trouble deciding on where I want to live. I m a Phoenix native though I feel that NYC is my home everytime I go out east... But at the same time, I want to stay close to home.

What s more important...Having a lot of money, regardless of how you get the money, or being famous, and maybe having money come along with that and maybe not.If you picked having money no matter how you get it, New York City. If you picked fame, even though you might not have money, Los Angeles.The weather is nicer in Los Angeles. The people are arguably nicer, although perhaps backstabby. That s anywhere though.The culture in New York City are better IMO. Walking down the street is much funner. Theater scene is bigger there, which is probably good for you.

You should probably determine which location will provide you with more opportunities for what you want to do, both professionally (considering the economy!) and personally, and then you could probably factor that into your decision. Also, since AMDA is in both locations, you should see if there is the option to transfer out to LA in the event you don t like NYC, vice versa, the year afterwards - then you can experience both places! Good luck!!

You wrote, I want to stay close to home. Well, there s your answer right there... LA is just around the corner from Phoenix, and New York City is thousands of miles away, so, I think the choice is obvious, live in LA and go to NYC for vacations as often as possible.Good luck!

I have been to both NYC and LA i would say LA has better weather but NYC has a better lifestyle oppurtunity. NYC has more cultural diversity and it is the capital of the world it is the universal city.
